Broncos outside linebacker Shane Ray (ankle/wrist) missed a second day of practice Tuesday. He was among four Denver players that did not participate Tuesday, joining right tackle Jared Veldheer (knee), safety Dymonte Thomas (chest) and cornerback Adam Jones (thigh).

Offensive guard Ron Leary (torn Achilles) also did not practice, but he is expected to be placed on injured reserve this week.

If Ray cannot play against the Cardinals on Thursday, Shaq Barrett will take his spot as a rotational pass rusher. Billy Turner would fill in for Veldheer and Tramaine Brock would fill in at cornerback for Jones.
